This is a case study for how mis-information spreads like wildfire. I was there right after this happened and heard everything from there was a jumper, to a child fell on the tracks, to someone was pushed onto the tracks. The police and medics were down on the tracks with flashlights, treating it like a fatal crime scene. There were even people saying they SAW someone get pushed. The mind can certainly play tricks on us in stressful situations… hope the girl is okay.

Yeah, a guy on the bus said he was an eyewitness and saw a male adult get struck by a moving train because he was standing too close to the edge. The man who told me this said he didn’t see the accident, but saw the struck main getting medical attention. Now I don’t know what could have possibly happened, but hope that it isn’t life threatening.

+1. Now I’ve not only heard people say it was a teen girl but a male adult. Everyone who wasn’t standing next to the people really shouldn’t be speculating. This is an amazing example of how “witnesses” can make a lot of mistakes in identification….
